Accumulation of credits and assessment system
- Accumulation of credits is possible only if the student completes the learning outcomes specified in the syllabus, which is determined by the positive assessment established in subparagraph “a” of Article 4.7 of the “Rules for Calculating Credits in Higher Education Programs” approved by Order #3 of the Minister of Education and Science of Georgia in 2007.
- A student cannot be assessed solely on the basis of the final exam.
- Assessment distribution:
- Midterm assessments – 40 points
- Midterm exam – 20 points
- Final exam – 40 points
- Professor’s right: The professor may redistribute the 60 points of the midterm assessments based on his/her own views and decide on the number of assessment components and the deadlines for coursework.
